Pros

Before Sage purchased Intacct, the company had a great company culture. We were focused on customer satisfaction first, and growing revenues next. It was a pleasant environment, and I made friends with many of my colleagues.

Cons

Then we got bought, and the new leadership was 100% focused on increasing market share. They were aggressive , deceitful, and unfriendly, and I think they started to put a lot of pressure onto Intacct's original leadership because my boss, who was always pretty rude as a person, got even worse. He started treating me with a lot of disrespect. He not only undervalued me, but was nasty to me and he ridiculed, humiliated, scared, and honestly traumatized me. HR also did not handle the situation very well when I went to them. They are only there to protect the company's best interests and not the employees. I would not recommend working here or even buying their software just because of the leadership. It's not a company you can trust and some of the leadership are old school slave drivers.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
